But the Gunners, who voiced similar frustrations over the allocation of tickets for the FA Cup Final against Hull City in May, are unhappy that many of their season ticket holders won't get a seat in the 90,000 capacity stadium.

Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis said: "As with the FA Cup Final, we are disappointed with the official allocation of only 26,000 tickets for this match.

"The club will implement a ticket allocation policy which will be as fair to all our supporters as possible, but appreciate that many of our loyal supporters will be unable to obtain tickets for this match.

"We will be explaining our position to the FA and will be trying our best to obtain more tickets for our supporters for this match."
